I would go ahead and stick the disk in that came with it and install the software. That video card needs something called a Driver that tells it how to work. Without that, it'll display in terrible resolutions and run poorly. Just pop the CD in, and launch the executable and follow the prompts. It should install the software, including the drivers. That's probably the easiest thing for you to do.

The driver was installed through the CD, the card works great for games. The desktop resoultion is set at 800 X 600 which makes everything too large when set at 1024 X 768 everything is too small do I need a new monitor?
